Travel Thru History: Denver

We're striking gold on today's episode of Travel Thru History! We'll hike a "Mile-High" to a city surrounded by mountains, plains and gold mines. It's a city diverse in indoor cultural activities as well as outdoor adventures. We're taking you to Denver, Colorado! Located in the Southwestern US, Denver residents are proud of their city. The city is also a cultural epicenter with museums, live music, and art galleries. We're exploring the historical events and courageous frontier folks that shaped Denver into the inspirational and exciting place it is today. We're beginning our ascent into Denver history at the History Colorado Museum. Our guide takes us through several hands-on exhibits that put you in the drivers' seat, of the people who settled the city. We'll explore Colorado's past through first hand stories and interactive attractions. We then plateau on the plains of Denver to a multi-sensory exhibit. Home to the settlers who persevered during hard times to form their place in Colorado. Finally we descend into the mines of Silver City. You'll be watching with bated breath as we go 700 feet underground into the Hidee Mine and chip away at the sulfite oar for our chance at bringing home gold!
